Chapter 55
After a long time, Jiang Zhan called out, "Fifty taels? So ruthless?"

Chu Rui said lightly: "I think so too."

Jiang Zhan grinned.

"However, what Gu Wu said is also quite reasonable. The kindness of a drop of water should be repaid by a spring, and the kindness of saving a life, you must not be able to repay it. So I charge fifty taels of silver as a reward, so that your conscience can be at peace."

Jiang Zhan: "..."

Also dumbfounded was Xiao Qianyun, who yelled harder than Jiang Zhan: "It's not like you don't know, I'm poor, and the money on me has never exceeded five taels of silver. Where can I get fifty taels of silver?" Up and down Looking at Chu Rui, "Hengshan, you can do it. If the wind blows off your pillow, maybe my sister-in-law won't charge me for medical treatment."

Chu Rui said: "It is impossible for me to blow the pillow wind for you."

"Don't be like this, we are brothers after all."

"However, as long as you keep this matter secret, I will pay the money for you." Subconsciously, Chu Rui didn't want others to know about Gu Wuhui's medical skills.

Xiao Qianyun quickly assured: "Am I a loose-mouthed person?" Even if he really took money from him, he couldn't spread it everywhere.

……

……

The wounds of all the injured guards were fully bandaged and the medicine was distributed. It was already two more days.

Except for those on shift, everyone fell asleep.

Chu Rui opened his tired eyes, and said to Zhou Taiyi, who was also too tired to stand upright: "Do you still have Jinchuang medicine?"

Doctor Zhou asked the little apprentice to look through the medicine box and said, "Thank God, there is still a bottle here. Is Prince Chu injured too?"

Chu Rui didn't answer, but just took Jinchuang Medicine in his hand and said, "It's okay to keep it by your side for backup."

Physician Zhou nodded and didn't say anything more. He is an old bone, but he is very tired, and he can finally go back to sleep well.

But Chu Rui didn't let him go with Imperial Physician Liang, and let him stay for another day.

The two imperial physicians had no other opinion, they only thought that they would have to give medicine to the guards tomorrow, so they stayed in the Great Buddha Temple.

Chu Rui took Jinchuang medicine and went to the guest house where the fifth princess was. The fifth princess had already left and took away all the serving people.At this time, only Gu Fuyun and her two maids were left in the guest house.

Although the door has been plugged, but with Chu Rui's ability, it was easily opened.It was because he opened the door so easily that he became even angrier.

This woman is too careless.

It's just that he didn't get angry for too long.

Just when he opened the door, he heard a rush of footsteps, Chu Rui cried out secretly, it turned out that the woman still had the goose in the room.Not daring to think too much, he closed the door decisively and turned over the courtyard wall.

Gu Fuyun didn't know all of this, and still slept soundly.

……

Because the emperor and the fifth princess had left last night.

Gu Fuyun slept until it was mid-morning and still hadn't gotten up.

Because of the unfavorable weather, it actually started to rain today. Although it is not considered a downpour, it is not suitable for traveling.

Gu Fuyun, including the group of big internal guards who were still healing on the mountain, could only stay in the mountain.

But Chu Rui braved the rain and left.

However, Gu Fuyun didn't pay attention to it. Based on her "friendship" with Master Hongya, even if she didn't pay the money, Master Hongya would not drive her away.When the rain stopped, they went down the mountain and hired a car to go back by themselves.

After a night of recuperation, the scars on his neck had healed, and the skin on his knees and palms no longer hurt.

"Girl, it looks like the rain won't stop for a while." Qing Hong was worried.

Now there are only three masters and servants left in this huge courtyard, what if some criminals break into this place.

Gu Fuyun said: "Don't worry, the rain is so heavy, the bad guys are also afraid of the rain."

Because the fifth princess was coming, a lot of good things were bought from the temple and some of them were kept in ice cubes.But the emperor and the fifth princess didn't enjoy much, so they left.

This made it easier for Gu Fuyun. After walking around the kitchen, he prepared to cook something delicious for himself.

……

Chu Rui braved the rain and returned to the Duke Protector's Mansion.

Butler Li hurried forward and said, "My lord, Madam returned to the mansion two days ago and is going to arrest Di Long, saying that Di Long is a spy sent by others to kill you."

Chu Rui sneered in his heart and said, "Where's Di Long?"

"It's gone." Manager Li still didn't believe that Di Long was a spy, but his wife said it so firmly that he didn't know which one to believe.So I had no choice but to send someone to deliver a letter to Shizi Ye overnight.

"Well, I see." Chu Rui changed his clothes, went to the old lady's room, and greeted the old lady. The news that the emperor was assassinated at the Great Buddha Temple has been concealed.The old lady didn't know this, but she only said that Chu Rui came back from the palace and saw that he looked haggard, and there were blue shadows under his eyes, and she felt distressed for a while, and said, "You have to take care of your body, don't work so hard in everything."

Chu Rui said: "Grandma, I can save it."

After talking with the old lady for a while, Chu Rui left.

Back in the outer study, Chu Rui called Zhou Qing: "Where's Di Long?"

Zhou Qing replied: "It has been hidden, and Mama Wu has also hidden it. Don't worry, my son, you are safe."

Chu Rui nodded: "Study ink for me."

Zhou Qing had a sad expression on his face. He was obviously the son's bodyguard, but he did all the errands and odd jobs.

But for the sake of five taels of silver a month, Zhou Qing endured this grief and worked hard to grind ink.

Chu Rui picked up the pen, dipped in the ink, wrote a line of small characters with his left hand, put it in the envelope, and put the letter in his arms.He called Butler Li again.

"Is everything ready?" Chu Rui asked.

Butler Li replied respectfully: "Everything is ready, just wait for the son to start it."

Chu Rui nodded, "Where's Chu Shuo?"

"Second master left early this morning." Chu Shuo is Chu Rui's exiled brother.

The corners of Chu Rui's lips curled up: "Housekeeper Li, I'll go out first, and I'll probably come back at night. I'm going to start it tonight."

"Yes." Steward Li replied in a low voice, but he couldn't bear it, "Master, is it your exiled brother after all..." The madam is partial to the second master, and the entire Duke's Mansion knows it well.But the world son framed the second master like this, isn't it too cruel.

Chu Rui's eyes were cold, and he sneered: "In the past few years, the poisonous snakes that have appeared in my house, and the poisons that have been poisoned in the meals, have not been once or twice, have they?"

Mr. Li thumped, and then his face changed greatly: "Master, what do you mean..."

"The best defense is offense." Chu Rui said coldly, "I am a dignified protector of the country, and I have to live in fear in my own home. Do you find it interesting?"

Manager Li was suddenly speechless.

"I'm really tired of living such a life, and I don't want to live it anymore." Chu Rui stood up, Xin's long body with the strength of youth, mixed with the breath of the superior who had been around the emperor all the year round, oppressing Looking at Mr. Li's already somewhat old body.

Director Li took a step back, awe and relief flashed in his eyes.

 The show is coming
